Retirement Success Profile (RSP) “To achieve retirement fulfillment each retiree must do some introspective/self-inventory work- you cannot move forward without it. The Retirement Success Profile(RSP) was designed for just that purpose. A brief overview/history of the RSP: The Retirement Success Profile(RSP) is an inventory of expectations and present behaviors which measures your readiness to move into the first phase of your retirement (whatever that may be), as well as giving you a projection of your eventual success in retirement. The RSP was created over 20 years ago by Dr. Richard Johnson, who noticed that there was not much out there about retirement life-planning (besides of course, financial planning for retirement). Over the years, the RSP has had 3 revisions and has been administered to over 20,000 individuals. It provides objective data to the individual about their subjective thinking around their own retirement. The RSP uses a scientifically designed, valid and reliable 120 item self-assessment profile which measures the fifteen factors shown to be crucial for people to come to a dynamic understanding of themselves. The RSP provides an individualized approach that addresses a logical and predictable method to the career/life forces at the core of retirement. Individuals receive a 23-page report that discusses their present behavior, or PB Scores-meaning….How they are right now, how they have prepared for retirement, and expectation, or E Scores, meaning….where they want to be…And they receive a list of strengths to build from and focus factors to review and take action on. In essence it is an objective and quantitative measure of a decision that formerly had been a single hit or miss proposition! The RSP compares the scores to others who have previously taken the RSP, as well as to the individuals own expectations and present behaviors. One can take this assessment as early as 15 years before retirement and again 10 years, 5 years, and 1 year prior to the first retirement retirement. It can also be taken by someone who has already retired. “There are 15 universal factors or areas of one’s retirement life – these together can illuminate to what degree a person is likely to construct a happy and personally successful lifestyle in their renewal years. The more directly a person addresses these factors the better his or her chances of having a more successful retirement.”
